The original Robocop was a gritty satire. The third Robocop has none of the character of the first film. The plot (OCP ruthlesly tries to evict people so they can turn Detroit into a gleaming example of a coporate city) is trite. Instead of the beaten and weathered look of Robocop in the first film, he's now got the shiny and buffed-up chrome look. The action tends to be of the cartoon kind ("is it a bird, is it a plane? No, it's a flying Robocop!!"). This movie is just a cash-in of the first film. It tries to take elements th elements that made the first film succesful, but makes it look forced and contrived. The special effects and action are entertaining enough, but hey, they don't necesserily mean it's a good movie.
